At this time, many guests had already arrived in the mourning hall. Given Kim Hyun-il's status, almost everyone present knew him and basically knew about his relationship with the deceased old president - Kim Hyun-il.
Li Zhongzhe adopted and raised him. It can be said that he is half of Li Zhongzhe's son.
Jin Xian knelt down on his knees, leaning against the coffin, and put his hands into the coffin to hold Lee Jong-cheol's body. He was wailing and crying, appearing heartbroken, but in fact, his hand was quietly resting on Lee Jong-cheol's wrist. With him,
With a cautious personality, he must personally confirm whether Lee Jong-cheol's life has really stopped.
Li Zhongzhe lay quietly in the coffin, his body cold. Jin Xianyi found out after testing that it was indeed a corpse. He was immediately convinced that there was no more doubt. He suppressed the look of ecstasy and slowly closed the door.
She burst into tears, stood up and walked to Li Yanzhen, choking with sobs and said: "Yanzhen, the president is gone, you...you have to take care of yourself and don't be too sad."
Li Yanzhen nodded with tears in her eyes, looking fragile and helpless.
Jin Xianyi sighed softly, comforted him a few more words, and asked casually, "Yanzhen, did the president leave any suicide note before his death?"
Li Yanzhen shook her head and said: "My father has actually been in a coma for a long time. He passed away suddenly this morning. Not to mention the suicide note, he didn't even have time to say a few words to me..." At the end of the sentence, Li Yanzhen covered her face again.
started to cry.
Jin Xian suddenly felt relaxed all over. If there was a suicide note, he would have to do some tricks to solve it. Now this result is just right!
Just when he began to think about how to control the overall situation, several people suddenly walked in quickly outside the gate. One of them was older and had a calm demeanor, but there was a bit of anxiety and uneasiness in his eyebrows. He leaned a little closer to him.
There are two middle-aged people in the latter positions, a short man with a round face, and a tall, skinny man. Although these two people came in with the man in front, it can be seen from their positions that their identities seem to be
Still slightly lower than that person.
Many guests in the mourning hall began to whisper: "The three ministers of the Doomsday Society are here together... Liu Xian is indeed the oldest minister in the Doomsday Society. You see, even Song Zhengying and Li He don't dare to talk to him.
Walking side by side...I heard that Minister Liu disappeared for several days, and everyone thought he had been assassinated..."
The old man at the head of these three people is Liu Xian, the finance minister of the Doomsday Society. He is also the most difficult veteran of the Doomsday Society for Kim Hyun-il to win over. He has been friends with Lee Jong-cheol for many years and he is an upright person. Just a few days ago, Kim Hyun-il
Xian Yi couldn't hold it anymore and sent someone to deal with him secretly, but found that Liu Xian suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight and couldn't even get through the phone.
But today, on what Kim Hyun-il thinks is the best day to hold power, this stubborn Liu Xian appears inexplicably again. Could it be that this old guy knows something?
Not only Jin Xianyi was puzzled, but Liu Xian himself was confused. A few days ago, he just came out of the company and before he had time to get in the car, he was suddenly hit by a small stone. There were also stains on the stone.
Wrapped with a small note and a phone card, there was a simple sentence written on the note: Disappear temporarily, waiting for the call.
He knows that since the news of the president's critical illness came out, many people have begun to secretly develop their own power and prepare to compete for the new president's throne. He is also very aware of his own importance - in addition to the president and vice president,
The Minister of Finance is the well-deserved third-in-command of the Doomsday Society. Although this note was clueless and did not even have a signature, he instinctively felt that it was a kind reminder to himself, or maybe it was all because of
The old president wanted to straighten out the increasingly chaotic situation within the meeting and deliberately hid the arranged plan.
So he followed the instructions on the note and hid it. He turned off his original phone and replaced it with this calling card. As a result, at nine o'clock this morning, he unexpectedly received a call from the eldest lady Li Yan.
When the phone call came, the eldest lady didn’t say much. She simply said: My father passed away. She also gave the name of the hospital and hung up.
Liu Xian never believed that Li Zhongzhe would die so inexplicably. Even now, when he saw Li Zhongzhe's cold body lying in front of him, he still could not accept this fact.
The two ministers Song Zhengying and Li He, who were following him closely, saw Liu Xian looking at Li Zhongzhe's body with dull eyes, but did not salute further, so they hurriedly pulled his clothes secretly. Liu Xian looked like this
Suddenly he came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and walked to Li Zhongzhe's coffin, took a deep breath, bent down and bowed three times.
Li Yanzhen returned the gift as a filial daughter, calling softly with red eyes: "Uncle Liu."
Liu Xian gently hugged her shoulders and sighed, but he was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Jin Xian took two steps forward and said sadly, "Mr. Liu, the president unfortunately passed away. We must hold a more grand funeral for him."
But Liu Xian didn't buy his account at all. He rolled his eyes at him and said coldly: "Don't be so pretentious here. Do you dare to say that the president's death has nothing to do with you?" He is a liar.
, there was definitely something fishy about Lee Jong-cheol's sudden critical illness and even his death, and the seemingly grieving Kim Hyun-il in front of him was the most suspicious person in his opinion.
Jin Xianyi didn't take Liu Xian's eye rolls and sarcastic remarks to heart. He just spread his hands a little aggrievedly: "Minister Liu, I was raised by the president. If you say that the president's death is related to me, you
But you have wronged me."
Liu Xian waved his hand: "You don't need to explain anything to me. The cause of the president's death will be revealed sooner or later." After that, he continued to comfort Li Yanzhen softly, and did not want to say anything more to him.
The atmosphere between the two seemed a little tense. Song Zhengying and Li He, the director of the marketing department, looked at each other, but did not say anything. They stepped forward, saluted Li Zhongzhe, and quietly stepped aside.
Not long after, those who had received the news of Li Zhongzhe's death arrived one after another. All the middle and high-level people from the Doomsday Society had also arrived. Even several district chiefs from outside districts rushed over in the shortest possible time.
The seven district chiefs of the Doomsday Meeting, including Park Xingchang and Huoshan, as well as administrative staff, including Liu Xian, Song Zhengying and others, sat or stood in an orderly manner according to rank and jurisdiction, and clearly communicated with the guests outside the meeting.
divided.
After all the guests outside the meeting had saluted, Jin Xianyi suddenly took a few steps, coughed twice, and said politely: "Dear guests, thank you very much for coming. On behalf of the Doomsday Party, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all.
Sincere thanks.”
Everyone present, whether they were members of the Doomsday Society or not, couldn't help but be stunned. Today was the farewell party for Lee Jong-cheol's body. Even if he had to speak, it was the eldest lady Lee Yeon-jin who came on stage and said, which turn would it be for him to speak?
Without waiting for further discussion, Jin Xianyi turned to the members of the Doomsday Society and said, "Everyone, today is the day of our monthly meeting. I don't think there is any need to rush to the meeting place in the afternoon, why not just stay here."
In this way, everyone immediately understood what he meant. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone received the news temporarily and had not had time to prepare, he wanted to seize power quickly! So those who were not members of the Doomsday Society responded very sensibly one by one.
Farewell, even though some people have high status, they can't sit in on gang meetings of underworld bosses like the Doomsday Society, so they don't want to cause any trouble.
Li Yanzhen still seemed to be heartbroken. She just knelt down beside the coffin and sobbed, regardless of what Kim Hyun Yi said. Liu Xian took a deep look at Kim Hyun Yi and said nothing, turned around and sat next to Li Yanzhen.
, the second in command in the meeting was talking, the third in command remained silent, and the first in command was lying in the coffin... The others would not interrupt at this time, they all sat quietly and waited for Jin Xianyi to continue speaking.
Jin Xian glanced at the quiet situation in the audience, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then pretended to have a sad expression and said slowly: "The president unfortunately passed away. This is something we did not expect and did not want to see, but
… Such a huge foundation of the Doomsday Society cannot remain without an owner, otherwise once people’s hearts become loose, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
At this point, Jin Xianyi's intentions were clearly revealed, but Liu Xian still sat quietly with an expressionless face, as if what he was saying now had nothing to do with him.
Jin Xianyi's tone paused, and he came to Li Yanzhen's side and said softly: "Yanzhen, maybe it's not appropriate for me to say these words at this time, but the president has passed away, and I don't want to see you alone and helpless from now on.
People rely on you, and you know, we grew up together, and the relationship between us is unparalleled. So... marry me, and I will give you the warmest care and never let you feel lonely."
As soon as these words came out, the silent atmosphere at the scene was immediately broken. There was an uproar below. Before the president was buried, Kim Hyun-il actually proposed to the eldest lady publicly at this time, although he did not mention that he was seeking the new president.
It's a matter of fact, but even a fool can see this intention.
But to Jin Xianyi's expectation, Li Yanzhen didn't react at all to his tender words. She didn't even blush. She just shook her head and said softly: "I'm sorry, Xianyi brother, I
I can't marry you because... I already have a fiancé."
Everyone below was suddenly in an uproar. Although they had heard a few days ago, a fiancé suddenly appeared next to the eldest lady, and some of the people here had seen that master with a cold face and fierce skills. At that time, almost everyone
Everyone thought that person was just a smoke bomb used by Li Yanzhen to ward off those suitors, so no one took it seriously. But now the eldest lady actually mentioned it again and confirmed it in front of everyone, which means that it is
real.
Jin Xianyi couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't that guy bribed by Liu Shanxi to be his lackey? He subconsciously opened his mouth and asked: "You have a fiancé? Where is he?"
Li Yanzhen suddenly smiled and turned to look at a corner of the mourning hall. Everyone's eyes also turned there. There, a thin and ugly man stood up slowly and gave everyone a silly smile:
